The churches of God have altogether
ignored Ezekiel 38 and 39, because they feel that this prophecy has nothing to
do with the end time, but with the end of the millennium. If we are to accept
this interpretation of this prophecy, we will miss out on a great warning to our
people Israel (primarily Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand). And because of
this, their blood will be on our heads for not doing the work of the Watchman
properly, the way God instructed.

We will go through this prophecy to
show what will happen to the peoples of North America and Australasia primarily.
The Israelites in this prophecy (i.e. North Americans, New Zealanders &
Australians) are the ones specified as God makes plain! These two chapters are
so important to the destiny of our people unless they repent, that it has been
OVERLOOKED by the church of God for decades;
overlooking that the enemy is right at our Gates! And no warning is going
out! This watch­man work that British-Israel is doing, is warning our people.
May the rest of the churches of God, put away their biases and prejudices, and
read and accept the Bible's message, instead of someone's interpretation of it!
Listen to God NOT man! Let's begin with the origins
of Gog, Magog, and their future role in the end time!

Origins of Gog and Magog

Let’s start with who Gog and Magog
are NOT! Russia is NOT
in this prophecy. Russia will
be aligned with the Beast of Prophecy or the United States of Europe (Read
our booklet Russia in Prophecy).

The Russians are “the ancestors of
the eastern Slavs” (The Making of Modern Russia, John Keep, p.2). There is no
proof that the Russians Descend from Gog.

Some translations read “Prince of
Rosh” in Ezekiel, rather than “chief prince” in an attempt to imply that we
should interpret this expression as meaning the “prince of Russia.” This is
absolutely erroneous because
ROSH appears 456 times within
the Old Testament and NEVER
is it used as a proper noun! ROSH
is a Hebrew word meaning “chief.” There simply is no comparison or
connection between these two words which originate from two different languages.
Even the “first” or “chief” day of the Jewish calendar year is called ROSH HASHANAH,
thereby further proving our point.

The word “Rus” comes from the “Norsemen
themselves, and gradually came to be applied to the country over which they
ruled” (ibid., p.5). Norsemen called the Slavs “Rus,” so even
“Rus” or the name “Russia” was applied by other people and NOT part of Russia’s tribal names. Gog is NOT Russia!

Who is Gog?

So who is Gog? What are their
origins?

Let’s start with Magog and see
what we discover! Josephus states: “Magog founded those that from him
were named Magogites, but who by the Greeks called Scythians”
(Josephus Antiquities 1:6:2).

But wait! How can
Magog be the Scythians when we have proved that the Scythians are
actually the Israelites of the lost ten Tribes?

Colonel J.C. Gawler’s book
Our Scythian Ancestors supplies the answer:
“Scythia proper, then, in the
times of Herodotus (book iv. cap.101) is described as lying between the Danube
and the Don. The Scythian nation was made up of various tribes having
different names, though all are classed under one general name. Herodotus
distinguishes, moreover, between tribes belonging to the Scythian nation,
and tribes living among them having Scythian habits, but who were not
Scythians by tradition or language. This distinction is not drawn by all
writers.

“The ancient Greeks,” says Strabo,
(book i. ii. 27) “classed all the northern nations with which they were
familiar under the one name of Scythians, or according to Homer, Nomades.”

“Strabo (book vii. iii. 9) seems to
account for this by again pointing out how diverse races inhabiting those
parts were all classed by the Greek writers under the name of Scythians.
‘Ephorus, in the fourth book of his history, which is entitled ‘of Europe,’
concludes by saying that there is a great difference in the manner of life,
both of the Sauromatae (a mixed race, Herod. iv. 110-117) and the other
Scythians; for while some of them are exceedingly morose, and are indeed
cannibals (see Herod. iv. 106) others abstain even from the flesh of animals.
(See Strabo, xvi. ii. 37, regarding superstitious innovations-abstinence from
meat, &c.,- among the followers of Moses.)” (p.3). One of the
peoples of the mixed race who were Not Scythian, but were classified, or
grouped together with the Scythians was Magog!

Magog
then eventually moved to east Asia to the territory we call Mangolia
today:

“From the high-lands of Pamir, in the
heart of central Asia, whereon, according to the arguments of some of the
earlier chapters of this treatise, the Japhetic races grew into national
existence, an easy highway leads to-wards the eastern half of Asia. The Tarim
river, whose valley this route would follow ... loses itself. on the edge of the
Gobi desert. The basin of this river, forming a broad expanse between the
Tia-shan mountains on the North and the range of Kuenlum to southward, is one
continual camping ground. Where those mountain barriers end begins the
country called Mongolia, the original home of the Mongol race.

“The word Mongolian is one which is
frequently used to denote the whole population of inner and northern Asia. At
the outset, we must carefully define a term like this. The type of race so
often, called in manuals of ethnology ‘Mongolian’, let us designate by
the term ‘Turanian’ - the significance of which is co-extensive with the
scriptural, ‘Japhetic’ ... ‘Mongol’ must be reserved as the title of that race
which, however far afield it may since have wandered, issued from the territory
distinctively designated ‘Mongolia’’’ (Russia Japhet Milner 1886:ch 11).

The term Mongol, sometimes written as
Mongoul, appears to be directly derived from Magog. In India, for
example, Mongol becomes Moghul and a large part of China
was known as Mangi when Europeans first visited it. The Muslims called
the Scythian tribes of “Tartary Yajuj and Majuj” which is Gog and
Magog (see Jones 1807 vol 1: 94).

Marco Polo, Venetian traveler to the
Orient, in the thirteenth century AD, knew that Mungul or Mongol was part of the
peoples of Magog. He further understood “Gog and Magog” to be the names of “Ung
and Mungu” in China (see Polo Travels: 87).

Arab writers confirm
that in the Arabic language, their name for the Great Wall of China is
“the wall of Al Magog.”

So the people of Magog today migrated via southern
Russia to their current homeland, leaving behind such place-names as:
Mogilev city, Mogiolistan, Mugojar Mountains, Mogol-Tau Mountains.

Among the people of Mongolia, Inner
Mongolia, central and some of northern and southern China (by no means all of
northern or southern China).
Here are the hundreds of millions of China today.

No wonder the name of ancestor
Japheth, means “expansion”, implying a large or expanding race!

Other peoples descended from Magog
include the Eskimos and Aleuts whose facial physiognomy are very similar
to the Chinese (Stewart 1973:132).

We also find the Maghs and the town
of Mogok in Burma, as well as the Mogadok Mountain and the Mogaung river. A
tribe known as the Magars live in Nepal.

Mysterious Gog

Gog is indeed a mystery. Ezekiel
places him on an equal footing with Magog, yet he is not mentioned as being a
descendant of Japheth in the Table of Nations nor anywhere else in scripture.
The Arabs referred to the “Yajuj and Majuj” as living in North-east Asia
beyond the Tatars and Sclavonians (Hoeh 1957:17).

Gog may also be the Yao of ancient
Chinese history (White 1992).

The New John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible
says:

“Gog... it comes from the same root, and has the same
signification, as
Agag,
to whose

height and exaltation there is an allusion in [Num 24:7], where the
Samaritan and Septuagint

versions read Gog: it is the same with , ‘Jagog’, by which
name the Arabians called the

Scythians that lived far east, particularly those that were
situated to the north of China

beyond Imaus, as Golius observes...” (emphasis added)

So Gog is the northern Chinese, But
why is Gog not found in scripture? God says specifically about Gog in verse 17:
“Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my
servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years
that I would bring thee against them (i.e., Israel).” This passage clearly
identifies “Gog” as the same individual spoken of by the “prophets of Israel”
who often prophesied he would invade Israel in the “last days”! So Gog must
be found in the Bible.

Bullingers Companion Bible provides
the answer to the mystery, on page 1161:

“Certain scriptures refer to an Og
(Deut 3:1-13; Num 21:33) and Agag (Num 24:7; 1Sam 15:8-9; Est 3:1; 8:3; 9:24);
these are not Japhethites, but Amalekites descendants of Edom” (note:
Haman the Agagite mentioned in Esther 3:1 is called an Amalekite by Josephus in
Antiquities 11:6:1).

What does Gog actually mean ?

“Gog - it is a long ‘o’ both in the
Hebrew and in the Greek - is made from the old-world-root ‘GG’, which in the
early languages implied something ‘g-i-g-antic’... [Is there a more populous
nation than China?]

“A potentate of bible
history and prophecy was ‘Agog’. That name, or rather, its title, comes from the
same root. He was (in his own estimation), a, Aleph, + GG = No. 1 - GREAT ! The Agagites, we are told in Young’s Analytical
Concordance, were an ‘Amalekite tribe’ and Agog, was ‘a poetic name of
Amalek, derived from a particular dynasty ...’. (Milner 1941:9-10,
emphasis added; See John Gill’sExposition of the Entire Bible above as well).

Amalek was the first enemy of Israel,
and he will be the last enemy of Israel. And end time prophecies of Amalek
and Israel are in the Bible!

God swore that he would war with
Amalek “from generation to generation” (Exodus 17:16). Ezekiel 38 is revealing
the last generation of war between God and Amalek.

Why does God declare war on Amalek?

Adam’s Clarke’s Commentary quotes
another translation of this verse to show the true meaning of this passage: “
the most rational version of which is the following: ‘Because the hand of
Amalek is against the throne of God, therefore will I have war with Amalek
from generation to generation...God makes now a declaration of war against the
Amalekites, which shall continue till their final destruction” (p.761,
emphasis added). Because Amalek declared war on God by attacking Israel, God
declares war on them. And Amelek’s final destruction takes place in the end time
in Ezekiel 38 & 39.

“Jewish tradition always assigned the
arch-enemies of Israel membership in the house of Amalek, the hereditary foe of
the nation.” (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

So here we have one prophecy about
Amalek. The Bible shows others as well.

In Numbers 24 we read of a prophecy
from Baalam, about the “last days,” and of Amalek he writes: “And now, behold, I
go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people
shall do to thy people in the latter days...And when he looked on
Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the
nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever” (v.14, 20).
Notice that the prophecy of Exodus 17 is to be fulfilled in the “latter days”
which we read of in Numbers 24. Amalek will perish forever, as Ezekiel
writes: “Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this
is the day whereof I have spoken. [final destruction of Amalek]..I will give
unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the
east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there
shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The
valley of Hamongog” (39:9-11).

Amalek is listed among the enemies of
Israel. They have in their mind to “cut them off from being a nation; that the
name of Israel may be no more in remembrance...[one of them is] Amalek” (Psalm
83:4, 7).

“TOGARMAH OF
THE NORTH QUARTERS” (Ezek
38:6).

The above quote is
from a famous prophecy found in the book of Ezekiel. Wherever Togarmah is to be
found today, it is to the far north of the Middle East. Hundreds of years after
the flood of Noah The Assyrians called them the Til-garimmu (Tegarama in
Hittite) who lived on the border with Tabal[xxx]. Other names for this people
were “Tegaram a Tilgarimma, “Trocmi” and “Trogmades”. The Tegarma or Tegarama
migrated from Cappadocia into Armenia[xxxi], and may have given his name to that
district (the Armenians even claimed descent from him and undoubtedly are in
part). From there, they moved into Turcoman territory (Turkistan) a possible
derivation of Tegarama. In Turkistan, among the tablelands of Pamir, rose a
great mount, Tagharma. The Septuagint form is Thorgama. Milner, who is famous
for his writings on the Japhetic races, discusses the trip to the deserts of
Turkistan by Dr. Joseph Woolf, a missionary. Woolf recorded his experience in
Travels and Adventures. He mentions how he came among a people claiming to be
descendants of Japheth and calling themselves Togarmah. These were
the Mongoloid peoples of Turkistan[xxxii]!

Tradition speaks in terms of a
certain son of Japheth as Tork. He in turn had a son Taunak Chan.
He was in turn succeeded by Jelza Khan, Dibbakui Khan, Kajuk Khan and Ilingeh
(or Alanza) Khan. Ilingeh Khan in turn had two sons: Tatar Khan -
progenitor of the Tartars; and Mongul Khan ­progenitor of the Mongols or
Moghuls[xxxiii]!

Moses of Chorene, who wrote the
history of the Armenians c450AD, claimed that their progenitor was
none other than Thargamas and they called themselves the “House of
Thorgom”. It may be that the name Armenia derives from TogARMah. So, some of the
descendants of Togarmah dwell in Armenia to this very day.

The golden-skinned Mongols of
Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, mixed to a degree, with the descendants of Togarmah
and Edom (some Turkics actually claim descent from Togarmah[xxxiv]).
A few others appear to be in Siberia (see Ezek 38:6) including the Dolgans and
the Yakuts[xxxv].

Gomer

“Gomer gave rise to the
Siamese, Burmese, Indonesians, Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians. The
Cambodians real name is the Khmer which is very likely derived from Gomer
! Similarly, one of the regions of Burma is known as Khemarata. Also,
Kamara was the original name of Sumatra and a region in Sumatra is known as
Kampar. We also find the area of Kemarat in Thailand and the Gimaras island in
the Philippines. Given the aforementioned, it is highly likely, that these place
and ethnic names are ultimately traceable back to Gomer. While it is impossible
to prove, it is most likely and should be included in our list of probabilities”
(Craig White, Who Are the East Asians, Chapter One)

•Tibet- Tubal.
China (Gog) is "Chief Prince" of Tibet

•Manchuria-Meshech.
China (Gog) is "Chief Prince" of Manchuria

•Mainland China-Gog

•Mongolia-Magog

The Peoples of Kittim

The peoples of Kittim in the Bible
originally settled in Cyrpus, “In Genesis 10:4, the word is applied to the
descendants of Javan, and indicates, therefore, the Greek-Latin races, whose
territory extended along the coasts of the Mediterranean, and included its
islands. By the side of Kittim are mentioned Elisha, Tarshish, and Dodanim ( =
Rodanim of 1 Chronicles 1:7), generally explained respectively as Sicily with
Southern Italy, Spain and Rhodes. In its narrower sense Kittim appears simply to
have stood for the island of Cyprus—it is mentioned between Bashan ( = Pal) and
the isles of Elisha in Ezekiel 27:6,7, and with this Isaiah 23:1,12 agree,
Kittim occurring in these passages between Tarshish, Tyre and Sidon. “ (The
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia under “Kittim”).

After, Kittim was
known as, “The statement of Josephus, that ‘all islands, and the greatest
part of the sea-coast, are called Chethim ( = Kittim) by the Hebrews,’on the
other hand, must be taken as the testimony of one well acquainted with the
opinions of the learned world in his time. In Jeremiah 2:10 and Ezekiel 27:6 the
isles of Kittim are expressly spoken of, and this confirms the statement of
Josephus concerning the extended meaning of the name. This would explain its
application to the Roman fleet in Daniel 11:30 (so the Vulgate), and the
Macedonians in 1 Macc 1:1 (Chettieim) and 8:5 ([@Kitians). In the latter passage
the Greek writer seems to have been thinking more of the Cyprian Kition than of
the Hebrew Kittim. “ (ibid, emphasis added). It was known of all of southern
Europe in the Mediterranean. In Daniel 11:30 we see, “For ships of Kittim [Roman
Empire] will come against him; therefore he will be disheartened and will return
and become enraged at the holy covenant and take action; so he will come back
and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.” The Roman fleet came
against Antiochus, he was forced to surrender to the terms of Popillius,
commander of the Roman fleet, and retire from Egypt and restore Cyprus to Egypt.
Returning through Judea, smarting under the defeat, he vented his exasperation
against the Jews, and extended special favors to those Jews who would turn from
their religion.

But after this, history shows that
the people of Japheth got pushed out of Europe and settled elsewhere.
Ernest L. Martin writes, “...[The] Shemite tribes (people who were
descendants of Shem and including some peoples who came from Abraham) later
colonized the whole of southern Europe and replaced the people of JAVAN
and his four descendants.JAVAN’s people were pushed mainly into the
northern areas of Europe where in turn they migrated farther east
into Asia (along with GOMER the firstborn son of JAPHETH and his
descendants).

Indeed, in prophecies dealing also
with the End-Time, we
find the people of JAVAN no longer in Europe but they are now
associated with TUBAL [Ezekiel 38: & 39 end time prophecy] (another
son of JAPHETH) who became an eastern Mongolian type of people...though
the name JAVAN still retained it geographical hold on the southern region of
Europe, particularly in Greece)...It is not uncommon for people to give a
name to a region and then the original people move on to other areas (or are
killed off) and the original geographical name becomes associated with
completely different people” (Prophetic Geography and the Time of the End,
emphasis added). So as applied to the Roman ships, the Bible calls them the “ships
of Kittim” yet the Romans were not of the Kittim racial stock. But in the
end time prophecies and history, we trace the movements of the people of
Kittim to China.

While China was called
Shinasanciently (the Romans called it Seres Sinenses) derived
from Tsins or Tsina by those approaching from the south (Boulger 1878:17), it
was called Cathay or Khitay by those approaching from the North
(ibid: 18; Conder c1900:51) after the people living there. The Russians called
the land and peopleKhitai and the Latins named it Cathay,
applying it to the whole country. The name of Italy is of the same origin as
China, Cathay, is Italy today. Josephus says that Cyprus was called Kition by
the Greeks. Its inhabitants were called Kitieis.and Kittoaeans (Josephus
Antiquities 1:6:1; Douglas 1972:701). The Egyptians called them Kheta and the
Greeks Ketei. The Phoenicians named them Kt or Kty. Cathay is Kittim, China
today!

Many peoples of Manchuria and
North-eastern China, then, are descendants of Kittim! The Chinese of
the North east are tall and fairly dolicocephalic; while the
average Chinese descended of Magog are shorter,darker and
brachycephalic. Those in the deep south are very dark and related to the
South-East Asians (Huxley 1974:159, emphasis added).

“And what about theKITTIM(another
son of JAVAN)?
They were the original ones who settled Cyprus and finally Italy, but
they were pushed northward and east by Shemites coming from the areas cited
above and went into the central areas of Asia-to the area we call China
today (an early name of China was CATHAY which comes from the root word Khitai
which answers to KITTIM)” (Ernest L. Martin, (Prophetic Geography and the Time of the End,
emphasis added).

Now as Martin noted, in the end time
prophecies, we find Java (Kittim) associated with the people of the east
of Tubal, Pul, Lud etc. In Isaiah 66:19 God says in the end time, “And I
will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the
nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan,
to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory;
and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.” Martins says, “Even in
Ezekiel 27:13,19 we also find Ezekiel no longer associating the people of JAVAN with Europeans...But Ezekiel in his
day was now placing
JAVAN(along with Isaiah) with the mongoloid peoples of TUBAL. The people of JAVAN later take
their name even further into the southeast Asian area of Indonesia where
many modern people are calledJAVANESE.” (ibid, emphasis his). So many of the children of Java
settled in Indonesia, other south sea islands, and the people of Kittim settled
into China!

Now that the end time prophecies of
Kittim mean China and not Europe, as in Daniel 11:30, (which is not an
end time prophecy), we can understand the end time prophecy of Numbers the
24th chapter that deals with the “latter days” (v.14). Here Balaam talks about
the “Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,” (v.17) meaning
the second coming of Jesus, and every commentary will confirm this. Then this
fascinating prophecy in Verse 24, “And ships shall come from the coast
of Chittim [China], and shall afflict Asshur, and shall
afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.” Notice that China comes up
against the European nations, so obviously Chittim cannot mean Europe in the end
time, but China! Here Chittim has a great naval fleet, which China does have and
is expanding.

Notice the common
enemy of China, “Asshur” which is end time Assyria which is Germany(Read our book Germany in Prophecy), and Eber, which is the Hebrews. Now
its interesting, the bible says the Hebrews. This means not just the
Israelite nations, but the other Hebrew nations that came out of Eber, this
includes the Abrahamic nations of Midian, Ishmael, Edom, which is
Russia, Ukraine and Turkey, all European nations. (Read our booklets on these
nations in our prophecy section).The Euro nations share a common enemy,
China. Note* in the end time the Beast (non-Israelite Europe) is the
enemy of the Israelitish nations of Britain and Scandinavia, (Read
our booklet What is the Beast?), but here in this prophecy, they share a
common enemy. Obviously they are allies. This can only mean the modern day
alliance of NATO! Germany, Britain, USA, Scandinavia, Russia (junior partner in
NATO) etc..

So China shall come with ships and
“afflict” the NATO Nations. Other translations have “humble” these
nations. China is going to wage war against the NATO allies and chastise them,
and when that happens, NATO will break apart, and Europe will forsake the
alliance with the USA and Britain. Jeremiah 30:14 says, “All thy lovers
[“Allies” Moffatt Translation] have forgotten thee; they seek thee not;
for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of
a cruel one, [China] for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins
were increased.” God uses China to chastise the NATO allies to “humble”
them. As a result of this chastisement, the allies will break apart, as Daniel
11:45 says about NATO, “yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.”
(Read our booklet Middle East in Prophecy for further details on this
subject).

Now, the latter end of Num 24:24 it
says, “and he also shall perish for ever.” This is speaking “That is,
[of] the conqueror of Asher and Eber, “ (JFB Commentary). But there is
another interesting fact about this verse. In the margin of the King James
Bible, it has “AMELEK”
as the one who will perish.
So Amelek is the one who sends the ships of Chittim against the NATO Allies in
Europe. So we see Amelek and Chittim in China against the NATO Allies.

After this happens, when Israel is
left to defend itself, this will lead into the great tribulation in
Daniel 12:1. This event is described in detail in Ezekiel 38 & 39.

Ezekiel 38 & 39

Now let’s begin with the prophecy of
Ezekiel that’s so important for our people today, now that we understand who
these people are in this end time.

“Son of man, set thy face against Gog,
the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against
him.” Now many people believe that Meshech and Tubal show that Gog is
Russia. But as the JFB Critical, Experimental and Practical commentary
writes on page 349, that these two were tribes not city names, these were
sons of Japeth, called the Moschi and Tibareni who dwelt
with the “northern Asiatics” that the Greeks called “Scythians” that even
Herodotus mentions in his book (Herodotus i. 103-106). And that the “modern
Russians assumed their name...though their [Modern Russians] proper
ancient name was Slavi or Wend” (JFB, p.349, emphasis theirs).

These peoples of Meshech and Tubal
migrated with the Asiatic hordes to the east and the north with the Chinese!
Tubal is “Tibet,” and Mechech is “Manchuria.” And China is of
course the “Chief Prince” of both countries.

“ And I will turn thee
back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine
army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a
great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:”
(v.3-4). Notice God how he describes this huge army that the Chinese have in
this end time. Revelation 9:16 describes the huge army from the east with the
number of 200,000,000 men! With “horses... and them that sat on them, having
breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses
were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and
brimstone.” (v.17). Battle tanks and missiles as God also describes in Ezekiel
38. China recently called for an increase in its military budget “as a response
to U.S missile system...[and will boost] spending by almost 18 per cent this
year” (Metro, Wednesday March 7, 2001).

China’s total
armed forces is about “3 million” strong which includes army navy, air and
nuclear forces, see Alan Campbell book “Kings of the East,” p.13.

The Bible speaks of the “Ships of Kittim” China’s
Naval Power & China’s military power “I will bring thee forth, and all thine
army, horses and horsemen,” (Ez 38:4).

Here, the Bible lists the
alliances that China makes: “Persia,[Iran & Iraq] Ethiopia and Libya [“Cush
& Phut,” i.e India, Pakistan] with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

“Gomer [Siamese, Burmese,
Indonesians, Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians], and all his bands; the house
of Togarmah of the north quarters [Siberians and Mongols], and all his
bands: and many people with thee” (v.5-6). Have you notice anything about this
list of nations that align with China? These nations are all ANTI-AMERICAN!!
This prophecy as we shall see is against North America especially the United
States of America as the primary target!

“After many days thou
shalt be visited: in the latter years [same time setting as Numbers 24]
thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword,
and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of
Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the
nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.” (v.8) What
nation is there that calls it self “E PLURIBUS UNUM” [Out of many we are
one]? The United States of America! This is the target nation in this prophecy!
Along with Canada because we share the same Continent with the United Staes and
are also part of the tribes of Israel! And who but these populous nations can
defeat the vast countries of North America? Not Europe! They do not have the
manpower to defeat North America.

The Churches of God always expected a
European attack on North America, but no, its the Chinese Alliance with all
these other nations that will attack North America and bring them into
slavery and captivity unless our peoples repent and return to the faith in Jesus
Christ! These also shall be attacking from the “North” which we will see in
Joel’s prophecy so it obviously includes the nation of Canada.

Brought Back from the Sword”

This expression from Ezekiel 38:8
about the land of Israel being “brought back from the sword” means a place of
refuge. Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance shows one of the words is a land of
“rescue” Strong’s #7725. A land of rescue from the “sword” which is war. What
better to describe the United States of America. Those teaming hundreds of
thousands throughout the centuries coming to the New York harbor, refugees from
the wars of Europe coming into a new land looking for freedom.

Speaking before the Honorable Council
and the Honorable House of Representatives in New England in 1778, Pastor
Phillips Payson looked to the future of America and declared:

... to anticipate the future glory of
America from our present hopes and prospects is ravishing and transporting to
the mind. In this light we [American Celto-Saxons] behold our country,
beyond the reach of all oppressors, under the great charter of independence,
enjoying the purest liberty; beautiful and strong in its union; the envy of
tyrants and devils, but the delight of God and all good men; a refuge to the
oppressed; the joy of the earth ....

Thomas Jefferson wrote of the safety
afforded America by the vast oceans on either side of her continent:

The insulated state in which nature
has placed the American continent should so far avail it that no spark of war
kindled in the other quarters of the globe should be wafted across the wide
oceans which separate us
from them.

In one of the many prayers of
President George Washington, we find him petitioning God for deliverance from
violence:

Almighty God, who has given us this good heritage,
we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of
Thy favor and glad to do Thy will

Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride
and arrogancy, and from every evil way.... (Quotes from God’s Covenant People,
Ted Weiland, pp..155-56).

This land was “waste” but is “now
inhabited,” see Ezekiel 38:12. Israel was to “inherit the desolate heritages” of
the earth, see Isaiah 49:8. We have inherited the great North American
wilderness, and dwell in the place that was a wilderness, but now inhabited by
Israel, USA and Britain. The description of these lands can only mean North
America, Australia, and New Zealand.

Also, who else “dwells safely”
but us North Americans? A “land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that
are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having
neither bars nor gates,” ? (v.11).We are protected by two vast oceans so no
outside army can just come up and attack us with ease. We were prone to wars
that ravaged Europe like World War 1 & 2. In our lands, we do not live with
armed guards around strongholds in our communities, nor do we have big walls of
defense to protect our houses. This can only mean North America.

Are these the Jews in Palestine
today? Absolutely Not! Since the creation of the Jewish state, they have had
nothing but warfare. This can only mean North America, Australia & New Zealand.

This also means, in
Ezekiel’s time, the defense of a nation. Are we not cutting back on our defenses?
Cutting budget spending on our military? Absolutely!

Now, here, Gog and Magog’s motive
is revealed as to why they come into the land of Israel: “Thou shalt
ascend [air assault] and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover
the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

“ Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall
also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and
thou shalt think an evil thought:

“And thou shalt say, I will go up
to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest,
that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither
bars nor gates,

“ To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon
the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that
are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that
dwell in the midst of the land” (v.9-12). The riches of North America is
what they are after, even though God used them as an instrument to get Israel
to repent, of course the fleshly want to do its own will to fulfill its own
purposes instead of the purposes and the plan of God.

“Thou
shalt ascend [air assault] and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a CLOUD to
cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.”

Notice in verse 13 who
the critics are of this invasion: “Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of
Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee,
Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to
carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great
spoil?” The Ferrar Fenton translates parts of this verse as “to seize
commerce and trade?”

Who is the greatest
trading partner that the United States has? JAPAN! The merchants of
Tarshish is Japan! The “Young Lions” as the Bible calls them
are the Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand, who are modeled after the
Japanese, which men call, the “Young Tigers.” (Read our booklet Japan in
Prophecy for further details).

“Therefore, son of
man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my
people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?” “The LXX
read ‘wilt thou not rouse thyself”’ (Bullinger’s p.1162). This is the time we
are living in now. The United States is the only Superpower in the world. Yet
continually China keeps stirring the pot, nipping at us every chance they get,
rattling the sabre, like the Issue over Taiwan’s independence.

“And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts,
thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great
company, and a mighty army:

“ And thou shalt come up against my
people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days,and
I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be
sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

“ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou
he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel,
which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

“ And it shall come to pass at the
same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord
GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.

“ For in my jealousy and in the
fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great
shaking in the land of Israel;

“ So that the fishes of the sea,
and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping
things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the
earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and
the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

“ And I will call for a sword against
him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be
against his brother.

“ And I will plead against him
with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands,
and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great
hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

“ Thus will I magnify myself, and
sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall
know that I am the LORD”
(v.15-23).

Notice the purpose God has in store
for the heathen races of the east. Like Pharaoh of Egypt, God raised up
Gog to show Gog his power: “And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee
up, for to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared
throughout all the earth” (Ex 9:16).

Look at the time setting of this
prophecy. It says that the earth will shake “at my presence,” that’s the second
coming of Jesus Christ!

V.20-22 describes Revelation
16:12-21, of the 6th and 7th vials of the wrath of God.

Ezekiel 39 The Destruction of
Amalek

“This is the day, whereof I have
spoken” (Ezekiel 39:8). The destruction of Amalek takes place here in the
39th chapter of Ezekiel. God spoke about this day as we have seen in other books
of the Bible, like Exodus and Numbers about Amalek coming to his end and
perishing forever.

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy
against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

“ And I will turn thee
back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from
the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

“And I will smite thy bow out of thy
left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

“ Thou shalt fall upon the mountains
of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will
give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field
to be devoured.

“ Thou shalt fall upon the open
field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

“ And I will send a fire on
Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and
they shall know that I am the LORD.

“ So will I make my holy name
known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy
name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in
Israel.

“ Behold, it is come, and it is
done, [Rev 16:17] saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have
spoken” (v.1-8).

The “sixth part of thee” should be
translated “strike thee with six plagues’ (viz., pestilence, blood,
overflowing rain, hailstones, fire brimstone, ch 38:22)” (JFB, p.352). These are
the vial judgements of Revelation. The vials of the Wrath of God that come upon
the “”the children of
DISOBEDIENCE” (Colossians 3:6; Ephesians 5:6).

In Joel’s Prophecy, God says that
he would remove from Israel the “northern Army,” that he describes are like
“locusts” see Joel 1:4; 2:25.

“But I will remove far off from you
the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren
and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the
utmost sea,” (2:20). Gog comes from the “north parts” that God “will turn
thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee [“strike thee with six
plagues”], and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,” (Ezekiel 39:1).
In fact, the whole book of Joel is about the war with Gog and Magog. This is
another prophet that God says, “Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by
my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years
that I would bring thee against them.”

Australia &New Zealand in Prophecy

Historical Background by Craig White-”Australia’s
genesis is rather unique. This great nation began as a penal colony when the
first fleet arrived under Captain Arthur Phillip on 18 January 1788. The colony
itself was established at Sydney Cove on 26 January which is commemorated as
Australia Day - a national holiday. Soon a way was found to explore the inland
areas. New settlements were established along the coast, in Tasmania, Western
Australia (1829), South Australia (1836), Victoria (1851) and Queensland (1859).

With the discovery of gold in 1851,
an enormous influx of migrants occurred with the ensuing increase in investment,
capital and business opportunities and the prosperity of the various states on
the continent began to boom. For instance, Australia possesses some of the
wealthiest deposits of mineral resources in the world.

This continent has come a long way
over the past 200 years – a relatively bare continent with few mountains, rivers
and lakes, it is approximately 85% desert and semi-desert and can only hold some
20-25 millions whilst maintaining a high standard of living. Yet is a ‘fair’
country, with much beauty and variety, hence the national anthem “Advance
Australia Fair”, originally composed as an ode to the British Empire.

On 1 January 1901, the six
British colonies federated to become the Commonwealth of Australia. The
initial governments of the young nation were very populist and patriotic, basing
many of their decisions on Biblical principles: protectionist tariffs with a
slant toward the mother country, Great Britain; court arbitration in industrial
disputes and the setting of minimum wages; old age pensions; a strong defence;
and strong family values. In contrast, our leaders today are bent on integration
with Asia; are biased against Britain; are fast moving away from the hard fought
for advances won by the Australian workers; and have very little time for or
interest in moral or family values. (see the book South-land of the Holy
Spirit. A Christian History of Australia by E R Kotlowski, Christian History
Research Institute). “

Australia as well you can say is a
land “waste:..of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that
dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates,” (Ezekiel 38:8, 11).

The political, religious, media and
academic leaders are leading them astray and far away from God (Is 3:12; 9:16;
10:1).” Now Australia is a land of violence; pornography is a plague upon their
minds; liberal divorce and remarriage, adultery, fornication and the promotion
of homosexuality is rampant; Why do you permit euthanasia, surrogacy, radical
feminism? And why have you neglected to obey the Ten Commandments and the
Sabbath sign?

Taken Captive into the land of the
East

As in Ezekiel, other prophecies show
Israel to be taken captive by eastern nations. In Zechariah, God says he
will: “save my people from the east country [from Gog and Magog], and from the
west country [The European Beast]; (8:7).

We are told in Isaiah that the
ships of Tarshish would be the first to bring the Israelites to the Holy
Land during the future second Exodus from the “Isles” of the sea
(Isaiah 60:9). Isaiah 11:11 also reveals Israel as captives in “the islands of
the sea.” Australia and New Zealand will be taken captive by the eastern
Asiatic nations, along with the Hawaiian Islands of the United States,
Canada, and the mainland of the U.S.A. as well.

Already China has expanded in the
South China sea as “...the once powerful Soviet Union pull[s] out of their
strategic bases in Vietnam and the U.S. Navy departs from the Philippines...an
aggressive move virtually ignored by the west, Red China extended its
territorial waters by hundreds of miles...Red China now claims the entire South
China Sea including major Shipping lanes...” (Kings of the East, Campbell,
p.14). What’s next, out into the Pacific? Do you see the danger that’s coming on
our people.

Unparalleled Horrors Await
Australia & New Zealand

This Work of the Church of God
endeavors to fulfil the commission given to Ezekiel, to warn of coming invasion,
captivity and slave labour camps (Ezek 3:17; 33:1-7). Like Ezekiel, this Work is
one which watches world events as they fulfil prophecy, to warn the peoples of
21st century House of Israel that military invasion and devastation is
imminent. Yet, we also proclaim God’s mercy to Israel - the Good News of the
World Tomorrow and the Messiah’s deliverance of our peoples. Soon, there will be
peace on earth (Is 2:1-4) and the peoples of Israel will learn to rule under the
Messiah with justice, righteousness, and for the good of all nations, tongues
and peoples.

But in the meantime, will we heed the
urgent warnings of Ezekiel to Australia and escape the approaching Great
Tribulation (Rev 3:10; 12:14). Or will we submit to the most terrible and
painful fate ever to happen to any people?

Israel finally repents (39:7)
and God’s name is not polluted anymore. And whose name do they blaspheme ever
single day in the workplace, on T.V., and in the Movies? Jesus Christ! The
Heathen as well, will finally know, and repent, and turn to Almighty God.
It’s a shame that it takes war and bloodshed for men to repent and turn to God.
But that’s how hard hearted and stubborn humans are, that God has to take to
that point, when he doesn’t have to. All we have to do is listen,
prove things to ourselves, and repent, and follow him.

“And it shall come to pass in that
day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of
the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the
passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude:
and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.

“And seven months shall the
house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land”
(v.11-12). God finally takes vengeance on Amalek for his evil, and for what he
did for all those wars against Israel. And it will take 7 whole months for the
house of Israel to bury them all, that’s quite a multitude of people!

“And, thou son of man, thus saith the
Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field,
Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice
that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of
Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

“ Ye shall eat the flesh of the
mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and
of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

“ And ye shall eat fat till ye be
full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have
sacrificed for you.

“ Thus ye shall be filled at my table
with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the
Lord GOD” (v.17-20).

This is describing the supper of the
Great God in Revelation 19:17. There can be no doubt about the time frame of
this prophecy. Its at the second coming of Christ.

“And I will set my
glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I
have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

“ So the house of Israel shall
know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

“ And the heathen shall know
that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they
trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the
hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

“ According to their
uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid
my face from them.

“ Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the
whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

“ After that they have borne
their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me,
when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.

“ When I have brought them again from
the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am
sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;

“ Then shall they know that I am the
LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the
heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left
none of them any more there.

“ Neither will I hide my face any
more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel,
[Jer 31:31, Heb 8:8, the New Covenant] saith the Lord GOD” (v.21-29).

God reveals why he did this. To get
Israel to repent and to punish them for their wickedness. This is the time when
Israel dwells safely in their land, which is this time right now, in the
21st century. Are we going to heed God’s warning, and repent, or continue on
this road to ruin? The choice is ours!

Arguement:

Revelation 20:8-9?

What about Revelation 20:8-9: “Gog
and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand
of the sea.

“And they went up on the breadth of
the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and
fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.” Doesn’t this prove
that the war with Gog is after the Millenium? Absolutely not! Ezekiel
38-39 clearly shows the second coming of Christ. The Supper of the Great God.
The vials of God’s wrath on the earth etc...The time frame is obvious. But also,
Ezekiel describes the war against the HOUSE OF ISRAEL. A specific race
of people. This war in Revelation is against the “camp of the saints”
which can mean any race of people who are converted to God.

Bullinger’s Companion
Bible writes: “Here apparently an inclusive term for all the gentile
nations...The destruction of Gog and Magog, Ezekiel 39, is
Pre-millennial, see Ezekiel 39:25” (p.1911, emphasis added). The book of
Revelation calls the people who are not converted to God, and have
rejected God, Gog and Magog in a spiritual sense, these are people of
all races! Notice, the Bible says that Satan “deceived the nations
which are in the four corners of the earth.” (v.8) These are all
nations, that God calls “Gog and Magog” spiritually. Gog and Magog
literally, are NOT in the four corners of the earth, just Asia, so the
meaning is clear that this is spiritual Gog not literal.

Literal Gog and Magog in
Ezekiel 38 are nations that are “most distant from Israel...distant and
barbarous nations” (JFB p.348). They did not know God before the
Millenium.

Spiritual Gog is the same way after the Millenium. So Ezekiel 38&39 is
for our time today before the second coming of Christ!
